I like it a lot. It just seems to me that this is how all searches should work, i.e. displaying their results immediately without initiating the search. Most of my desktop programs already work that way, why shouldn’t Google?

I think there's a difference.
Most desktop apps return structured results in tabular format. Those are much easier to skim because you know what to expect in each field, and you're usually looking at only one column anyways (e.g. the "title" or "filename").
Google results are not tabular (perhaps they should be?) and I find it rather hard to keep track of what I had already skimmed while the display shuffles furiously.

Well, sort of. If I start a search for "go" on my computer, it looks for that text specifically. Google looks for "google maps" -- which is more distracting to me personally.
